Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to loaders for conveying signatures and the like.
- There are already known loader devices for conveying or transporting signatures.
- The known devices generally comprise a supporting frame housing a horizontally extending path for feeding the signature packs which are then raised along another path,the feeding and raising paths consisting of belts or the like extending between driving and driven rollers,with at least one whereof there is associated a driving motor.Above the raising path there is provided a raising frame,which latter consists of a belt extending about pulleys in such a way as to suitably arrange the signatures. Said raising frame is longitudinally movably supported, in order to fit to signatures of different size. Such a construction is known for example from the U.S Patent N°3,894,732.
- In the known signature loaders it occurs that on the first signatures near to the raising path and in particular on the leading signature,is exerced a very high pushing force,which,from one hand,is due to the weight of the signatures themselves, which are slightly forwardly santed and, on the other hand, because of the entraining action on the signature pack provided by the conveyor belts.
- Thus a rather high friction occurs, in particular with respect to the first signatures, as well as between the first signature sheet contacting the raising path, which path subjects said first signature sheet to a drawing action, and the last sheet of the first signature, which is pressed by the pack located doownstream, thereby the first signature, that is the leading one,tends to slip away on its last sheet as held by the feeding pack. Thus there occur the so-called "autoexfoliation" phenomena of the signatures,which phenomena are more intensive as the signatures comprise a great number of sheets,which number may amount to 60-70 pages and more.
- In order to overcome the thereinabove mentioned drawback,it has been proposed of providing,at one end of the horizontally extending feeding path,a short portion of slanted feeding, effective, form one hand, to slightly reduce the pushing force due to the pack weight,by frontwardly slanting in a greater amount the signatures, and, from the other hand, to further reduce said pushing force, by discharging a portion thereof on the first driving or transmission roller.
- In actual practice it has however been found that the mentioned approach does not permit the signature conveying problem to be efficiently solved, in particular in the case of signatures difficult to handle, such as the illustrated magazine signatures, or the signatures including a high sheet number,and in the case of signatures open at three sides thereof.
- Moreover in the known loaders,operation unevennesses occur because of the different friction exerced on the signatures depending on the paper type and the printing marks thereon, in a single colour or in multiple colours,as well as depending on the spreading on the signature of the printed zones.
- The mentioned operation unevennesses generally consist of a bad drawing of the signatures from the signature pack,thereby the signature are erroneously located on the conveyor belts,with the consequent requirement of intervention by the operatingpersonnel.Moreover the known loaders may hardly be fitted to different sizes of signatures.
- Yet another drawback of the known signature loaders is that they require mechanical elements for preadjusting the signature pack at the raising zone thereof since,by way of an example,in the case of the so-called bound signatures, or signatures provided with three open or cut sides,the front portion of the signature pack, upon breaking the binding element,which generally consists of a plastics strip, tends to assume a disaligned fan shape,thereby the signatures are conveyed to the raising pulleys with an uneven arrangement susceptible to cause the signatures to move in an erroneous slanted direction.
- Accordingly,the task of the present invention is to provide a signature loader effective to afford the possibility of overcoming the thereinabove mentioned drawbacks of the known signature loaders,while being effective to efficiently and reliably operate with any types of signatures, independently from the paper quality,the printed marks thereon, the sheet number, the number of open sides of the signatures and from other parameters contraddistinguishing the different signatures.
- Within that task,it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a signature conveying method effective to allow for the signatures to be quickly and easily conveyed always ia a perfectly ordered way.
- According to one aspect of the present invention,the thereinabove mentioned task and object,as well as yet other objects which will become more apparent thereinafter,are achieved by a loader for signatures and the like,comprising a supporting frame,a substantially horizontally extending signature feeding path,possibly provided with an upwardly slanted end portion,an inclined surface or chute for raising the signatures and associated frames and signature raising belt members,as well as driving means therefor, characterized in that at the end of the signature feeding path,or of the slanted portion thereof for the pack of signatures,between said slanted portion and the path for raising said signatures, there is provided a step member effective to break and fractionate said pack,said singa ture raising path beginning under said step member,means effective to bear said signatures in said breaking and fractionating step member,and a sensor effective to detect the presence of said signatures upstream of the driving pulleys of said raising frame, and pneumatic means for preopening said signatures, as well as further pneumatic means effective to improve the adhesion of said signatures on the raising belts.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the signature loader according to the present invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof,with reference to the accompanying drawing, where:
- fig.1 is a perspective view of the loader portion according to the present invention; and
- fig.2 is a side view of a signature loader according to the present invention.
- With reference to the drawing, the signature loader according to the present invention is herein indicated overally by 1.
- The loader consists,in a known way, of a
feeding path 2 ror feeding thepack 3 ofsignatures 4 and or apath 5 for raisiag saidsignatures 4. Said signatures may have any desired size and number of open sides.With thesignature raising path 5 there is associated aframe 6 for raising said signatures,which frame, likewise saidsignature feeding path 2 may comprise,for example,a carpet or belts.By means of the mentionedsignature raising frame 6, the signatures are conveyed on thepath 5 with the known flake arrangement. - As it will be clear from the drawing, the
feeding path 2 is provided, in the considered example,with a slightly upwardlyslanted end portion 2a,in a known way.In the exemplary illustrated embodiment,the movement of the belts of thefeeding path 2 and the slanted portion thereof 2a is obtained through the motor driven roller 7,the required slightly different speeds of the horizontal and slanted belts being obtained by using different diameter transmission rollers. - According to the present invention,at the end of the
slanted portion 2a of thesignature 4pack 3feeding path 2, between the latter and thesignature raising path 5,there is provided astep member 8, effective to break and divide or "fractionate" the signature pack 3.As it will be clear from the drawing,under the mentionedstep member 8 there is provided the starting portion of the signature raising path 5.At 9 there has been indicated a signature bearing member thereon thesignatures 4 will rest or bear upon falling into thestep member 8,which bearingmember 9 is specifically provided for suitably prearranging the leading portion of the signature pack to be raised. - Further according to the present invention, in order to provide a locating abutment for the pack signatures falling to form the leading portion, there is provided an abutment member 11,swingably supported at 12, the latter being also effective to operate as a sensor effective to detect the presence of the signatures to be supplied.
- Said sensor,in a signature exhausting condition, will drive or control the driving motor for driving the
feeding path slanted portion 2a. - At 14 there have been indicated in the drawing holes formed through the sheet metal panel 5a of the raising path and leading, through a respective manifold chamber, indicated at 15,to a
duct 16, which is coupled to a negative pressure source,not specifically shown. - According to the present invention, alse the raising belts are longitudinally provided with holes which are spaced by a pitch corresponding, for example,to that of the mentioned
holes 14. - According to the invention,moreover, in order to assure an even take up of the
signatures 4,means are provided for blowing pressurized air at the signatures near to the pulleys 13,thereby reducing the weight of the leading orhead pack portion 10. This is achieved, in the illustrated embodiment,by providing on either side of said pulleys 13,respectively a pressurizedair supplying nozzle 17,coupled to a pressurized air souree(not shown),the jet whereof is oriented towards the first lower signatures of theportion 10. - The operation of the subject signatures loader will be evident from the above description jointly to the accompanying drawing.
- More specifically,duriag the operation of the piling device,the front portion of the
signature 4pack 3, as it arrives at thefront transmission roller 2b of the feeding path, is rotated frontwardly, thereby falling by gravity into thestep member 8 in such a way as to locate on the signature portion which is present herein. Said portion forms thesignature portion 10 which comprises the signsture pack proper, which latter is practically separated from the starting feeding pack, thereby it is not subjected to the loading thereof. - The mentioned leading portion is of a rather reduced height and, accordingly, it has a negligible weight.
- It should be moreover pointed out that the bearing
member 9, jointly to the abutment 11,which latter,according to the invention,is also effective to operate as a sersor, assures a quick and sure building of the leadingportion 10. The weight, which is a very reduced one, of the leading.portion 10 is further neutralized by means of a pressurized air jet supplied by thenozzles 17 and acting fer rising the leadingportion 10 including the signatures to be removed,and providing a preopening of said signatures.Thus a very even feeding is assured and the removed signatures are evenly conveyed in a flaky flow. - By the subject loader and the indicated method for handling signatures,it will be possible to solve the thereinabove mentioned task perfectly and independently from the signature type.
- It should also be noted that the abutment 11, which is also effective to operate as a sensor for detecting the presence of signatures,is advantageously swingably supported on the
frame 6,thereby eliminating adjusting operations as different size signatures are handled. - In practicing the invention,several modifications and variations can be made without departing from its scope.For example it would be possible to use a bearing
member 9 having a different slanting from that which has been illustrated,as well as to providee, upstream of said member,a feeding path of any suitable configuration. - Moreover, while in the exemplary emoodiment a negative pressure has been used for improving the adhesion of the signatures on the raising belts, satisfactory results may be practically achieved also in the case therein such an arrangement is applied to the known signature loader,without any provisions of the step member.
- In practicing the invention all of the individual parts may be replaced by technically and/or operatively equivalent components,without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Finally, it should also be noted that all of the characteristics which may be deduced from the disclosure,claims and drawing are to be considered as substantial for the invention,either individually or in combination.
